Synopsis

Next Avengers: Heroes of TomorrowWhen a nefarious villain named Ultron emerges to threaten mankind, the next generation of superheroes leaps into action and prepares to make their famous parents proud. It's been decades since Ultron defeated the original Avengers, and these days even the few folks that had held out hope for the future are finally ready to admit defeat. But Tony Stark has a surprise up his sleeve in the form of four amazing teenagers who just might have the power to defeat Ultron once and for all. But will James (son of Captain America and Black Widow), Pym (son of Wasp and Giant Man), Torunn (daughter of Thor) and Azari (son of the Black Panther) truly be capable of defeating the villain who brought about the downfall of their powerful parents? As the battle gets underway and Hawkeye's sharp-shooting son leaps into the fray, the team realizes that they might stand a fighting chance if they can only track down the mission Hulk and encourage him to become a member of the team. Should they succeed in defeating Ultron, this group will forever be known as The Next Avengers. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Good Story

January 7, 2009

This is a well-written story about the next generation of Avengers. The animation is good, similar to Iron Man (animated). It is a great movie for kids and adult super-hero fans alike. I don't know how much difference there is between the Blu-ray and regular DVD versions, but I rated the movie on its own merits and not a comparison.

Not worth extra $10 for blu-ray

I really like the storyline and plot. It wasn't childish, cheesy or immature given the subject matter is about kids of superheroes. This is a movie you and your child can watch together and both of you would be entertained. Old Hulk is awesome too.
Note that if you own an upscaling dvd player, or a PS3 that upscales, then buy the regular dvd version. The blu-ray version has the same extras as the standard version and I would bet the picture quality would be the same. The blu-ray's picture just didn't wow me.
I'm particularly disappointed in the extras. When you compare the back-of-box descriptions for both versions, I believe they are identical. Not worth the extra $10 for the same product on different platforms.
